Moisture Proofing
Extreme care should be exercised with waveguides before and after installation to ensure that moisture does not enter the waveguide. Keep the waveguide dry while in storage with ends tightly capped. Connectors, and fittings, to be located outdoors should be made mechanically tight, and with any factory supplied sealing fittings installed. Moisture problems in antenna systems are usually traced back to connectors which have NOT been properly protected. Moisture protection may be required which includes, dry nitrogen, compressors or dehydrators.

ANTENNA INTRODUCTION
The Microwave Antenna is of a parabolic design that consists of a reflector, feed and tower mount. Typically, there are two types of antenna: High Performance (HP) Parabolic Antenna and Standard Performance (SP) Parabolic Antenna. With the additional of a shroud and radome, the HP Parabolic Antenna has superior Front/Back Ratio as well as excellent anti-corrosion proofing properties. The antenna is used for directing the RF energy into and out of the ODU in a particular direction. ATECIL provides a wide range of Parabolic Antennas with different sizes for all operating bands of our ATECIL product line. The table below list all antennas available by radome size and frequency band.

ANTENNA INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
With the complete antenna packaging moved to the final installation site, exercise care in the use of the tools used to open and remove the lid. Ample packaging material, protecting the antenna during shipment, may be discarded with the packaging container at the end of the installation. The antenna is pre-assembled including all the mounting fixtures prior to shipment. Before commencing with pole or tower mounting, the installer needs to unscrew and remove the mounting screws and bolts. The antenna mounting rack can then be separated from the equipment in preparation for subsequent installation. Depending on antenna provided, it may be necessary to construct the antenna on site before installation. This section uses the 0.3 m and 0.6 m antenna installation as examples. Refer to the publication ATL-Hiperion Antenna Installation Guide for the installation of other antenna sizes.

ANTENNA ALIGNMENT
ANTENNA PRE-ALIGNMENT Tools Required Compass Inclinometer Spanners
12.1.2
Initial Set Up
Antenna alignment requires staff at each end of the link. A path profile analysis will provide each site with the required installation elevation, azimuth and bearing information, for initial antenna positioning. Ensure this information is available at each site. This is sufficient for the antenna to be pointed in the general direction as fine tuning will take place during alignment. ATL-NIX-20 PDH Page 40
For azimuth and elevation alignment, arrange each end to be on the assigned frequency to minimise any possible interference. Alignment involves quite a bit of fine tuning, and is an iterative process and the objective is to maximise the receive signal at each end the hop. Before proceeding to antenna pre-alignment, ensure each end of the hop is equipped with a known working Voltmeter.
12.2
ANTENNA PAIR IDENTIFICATION
There may or may not be in-band interference at either site, however identify and isolate the wanted RF signal in the presence of unwanted signal using the calculated RSL. A unique lookup table is supplied for each ODU. This specifies the relationship between RSL and RSSI level. Ensure the serial number of the ODU matches the correct lookup table before proceeding.
Figure 12-1: Typical RSL Vs RSSI Curve
ATL-NIX-20 PDH

RSL (dBm) -20 -25 -30 -35 -40 -45 -50 -55 -60 -65 -70 -75 -80 -85 -90 Table 12-1: Typical RSL Vs RSSI Volts

The path analysis documents should be checked for the expected RSL. Allowance should be made for an RSL over a small range of say 10 dB ~ 15 dB. Correlate the data in the lookup table against the RSSI reading along all points of the RSL range.
The antenna pair is identified when measured RSSI level matches against the corresponding RSL values specified in the lookup table.
12.3
ANTENNA FINE-ALIGNMENT
Each ODU has a BNC connector, for DC voltage measurement by a voltmeter. As the RF signal fluctuates over a small range, a meter with an analogue movement or analogue scale is the best type to use. This is a RSSI indication, and is monitored by the multimeter. RSSI is indicated by a voltage reading, and varies as azimuth and bearing adjustments are made. Each antenna is adjusted, one at a time, until a maximum peak in RSSI is found and no further adjustment of either antenna causes any further increase in RSSI voltage.

Figure 12-2: ODU RSSI profile for antenna The above figure represents the RSSI level as the antenna is being brought into alignment. Note that there are several peak with one dominate peak. Location of the optimal signal strength should be at the maximum of its RSSI profile. The local antenna is paned from a slightly high position above the bore site of the antenna across the peak in RSSI signal, then lowered slightly, and panned in the other direction, until the dominate peak is found.
Figure 12-3: Panning Antenna With the antenna positioned on the maximum peak, this procedure is repeated at the remote antenna. This process is then repeated several times for each antenna until no further increase in RSSI voltage is noted.

ATL-NIX-20 SYSTEM SOFTWARE
The ATL-NIX-20 software is divided into three functional groups: IDU software, ODU software, and NMS software.
IDU Software
ODU Software
NMS Software Figure 13-1: Software Architecture ATL-NIX-20 PDH Page 45

13.1.1
IDU SOFTWARE
The IDU software is responsible for the management, monitoring and control of the operational status of the IDU. At the same time as the communication between the NMS and system to achieve the control and management of NMS. The IDU software is also responsible for communication and ODU software to manage and control the ODU ODU SOFTWARE
13.1.2
The ODU software is responsible for the management and control of the ODU run state. The ODU software, according the IDU software parameters, controls the ODU operation. At the same time, the ODU software reports the ODU status to the IDU software
13.1.3
NMS Software
The NMS software interfaces with the IDU and allows a unified management platform which can meet the requirements of transmission network management. All operational parameters can be controlled and monitored via the NMS.
14.
FUNCTIONIONALITY
The ATL-NIX-20 system provides a wealth of functions to ensure the quality and efficiency of transmission service.
14.1.1
Frequency Band
The ATL-NIX-20 system supports L6, U6, 7, 8, 11, 13, 15, 18, 23, 26, 28, 32, 38GHz frequency bands, and can use a variety of ODUs to suit current and future requirements. The ODU types available are: Low Performance, QPSK to 32QAM High Performance, Standard Power, QPSK to 256QAM, and High Performance, High Power, QPSK to 1024QAM.
14.1.2
Transmit Power Control Function
Via the NMS, the ODU Tx output power can be configured in 1 db steps from 0 dBm to Tx Maximum. This allows full compliance with any licensing conditions imposed by the regulator.
14.1.3
Automatic Transmit Power Control
ATPC is enabled to automatically tracking the RSL of the remote receiver and intelligently control of the local transmitter power within a defined control range.
ATL-NIX-20 PDH
Page 46
ATL-NIX-20 Installation Guide This technology is used to minimise any possible interference to an adjacent system and the residual error rate, while being able to increase Tx Power should communications conditions deteriorate. Automatic Gain Control (AGC)
14.1.4
The ODU automatically controls the gain of the receiver amplifiers to ensure that the IF level is consistent for delivery to the IDU. This allows a large variation in IF Cable length, to simplify installation and ensures the performance of the entire system.
14.1.5
Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is implemented for the digital filtering and processing of modulated and demodulated signals. Using DSP, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is reduced and the performance of a communication system is then enhanced. In parallel with the above, the application of advanced Forward Error Correction (FEC) enables a number of errors to be detected and corrected without requiring retransmission, thus reducing the RSL threshold and improving the performance of system gain.
14.1.6
Signal Processing
The following signals are processed by the IDU: E1 tributary Interface: for E1 signal input and output. Ethernet Interface: for LAN signal input and output NMS Interface: for monitoring and management.
15.
MONITORING AND NETWORK MANAGEMENT
Monitoring and network management is available for the system. In addition to the operational parameters, a number of other parameters such as status, internal temperature, transmit power and frequency, receiving and transmitting levels and system alarms can also be monitored. Refer any enquiries to the contact details found on Page 13.

COMMISSIONING
The system can be configured only after the link has been aligned through either the WEB interface (available on ETH Port 3), or the CIT interface for local commissioning and the NMS port for remote control. The local commissioning via CIT must be performed on both sides of the link.
16.1.1
Equipment Power-Up
Before applying power, check that the expected voltage, current, and power levels conform to the ratings of the equipment. Double check all connections before applying power. Do not modify circuits or make hardware changes whilst the power is applied. System commissioning includes: Prepare for alignment and configuration Setup transmission Fine alignment Verifying installation Configuration
16.1.2
Factory Default Settings
The IDU will arrive in the Factory Default settings. These are as follows: TX Frequency: IP Address: Subnet Address Capacity: Link ID: Centre of ODU Sub Band. 192.168.168.1 255.255.255.0 34 Mbps 0
These parameters should be set via the CIT prior to connecting the Management. The following section (Section 17) is concerned with the configuration via the inbuilt Web Server, whilst the subsequent section (Section 1818focuses on the local commissioning via the CIT port;

A Factory Reset is a full restore of the IDU to its original factory settings. It involves deleting all stored parameters stored in the device, and should be used with extreme caution. A factory reset may become necessary to restore a Link back to a known starting point, caused by a mis-configured IDU which is no longer working. Many problems such as freezing can be resolved by performing a factory reset. Warning: Factory reset will delete all data stored in the IDU.

The PC Method
In this method, two PCs, each running a version of LAN Speed Test or LAN Speed Test V 2.x (one as server and one as client), are required for practical testing. LAN Speed Test V 1.x0 is a FREE utility designed to accurately measure LAN speeds. It does this by writing a file (the user chooses the size) to a folder (chosen by the user), clears windows file cache, reads the file back, clears the cache again, deletes the file, and displays the results. ATL-NIX-20 PDH Page 92
LAN Speed Test V 1.x is a low cost portable windows application that works with Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, & Windows 7. It can be run from a USB Memory Stick, for example, does not require any installation, does not use DLLs and does not change the Windows Registry. The results provide meaningful results with some limitations. LAN Speed Test V 1.0 can be downloaded from http://www.totusoft.com/downloads.html.

20.7.5
LAN Speed Test LST Server
LAN Speed Test LST Server is, low cost utility, providing additional features for LAN Speed Test. By using this configuration the client talks directly to the server through the network with no hard drive limitations. This gives more accurate results of True network performance on the client screen. LST Server also makes it possible to test your WAN connection. Some of LST Server Features include... Completely portable - No installation needed Small file size of 69KB and can run from a hard drive, USB Flash drives, etc. Compatible with all Windows 2000 & up Very easy to use Log Window and logging options Server can handle multiple client connections Server supports multiple NICs (Network Adapters)
It is not necessary to use LST Server, but desirable. Using LAN Speed Test with LST Server writes the test file to the server's memory and takes the hard drive out of the picture for truer network speed results.

MAINTENANCE
After equipment commissioning, no further maintenance by hand is required. After NMS commissioning, the monitoring centre can control the operational status of all of the equipment in the network. The following regular inspections are recommended to ensure long life system performance. Antenna systems should be inspected once per year by qualified personnel to verify proper installation, maintenance, and the condition of equipment. This should include a comparison of the RSL with the RSL as noted in the Commissioning Document. Note that for this comparison, weather conditions should be similar to those at the time of installation. The Station and System Earths should be inspected once per year for integrity and low ground resistance. Periodically check for proper connection and tightening of all cables and mounting fixtures. Make sure that the ATL-NIX-20 ODU has not been damaged, disassembled or otherwise tampered with, and remains properly grounded as described in the previous sections. Cleaning the surface of the equipment regularly to remove dust and other deposits like salt for example, to ensure the normal operation and prolonging the useful life of the equipment. The Surge Arrestors are designed to be sacrificial. Inspect the Surge Arrestor devices for integrity. Replace any that do not meet electrical specifications or appear suspect on physical examination. The installation location for ATL-NIX-20 ODU should remain well ventilated.
ATECIL disclaims any liability or responsibility for the results of improper or unsafe installation practices. The ATL-NIX-20 IDU and ODU have no user serviceable parts internally. In the event of a hardware fault, the faulty unit must be replaced with a known functional unit and returned to ATEC+L for repair.
